More From Francis Schaeffer

That the religious right completely took over the word christian is a given. at one time, phrases such as christian charity and christian tolerance were used to denote kindness and compassion. to perform a "christian" act meant an act of giving, of acceptance, of toleration. now, christian is invariably linked to right-wing conservative political thought -- christian nation, christian morality, christian values, christian family.
Christian Religious Freedom
Given that the nineteenth century was the century of socialism, of liberalism, and of democracy, it does not necessarily follow that the twentieth century must also be a century of socialism, liberalism and democracy: political doctrines pass, but humanity remains, and it may rather be expected that this will be a century of authority ... a century of fascism. for if the nineteenth century was a century of individualism it may be expected that this will be the century of collectivism and hence the century of the state.
Government Political Humanity
Science is science. science is what is. after discovery, tests, trial, if a consensus of scientists today said that the sun orbits around the earth, would we say that they're right simply because there is a consensus? no. because we know the earth orbits around the sun just as if there were a consensus that the earth is flat would we agree with them? no. so there can't be a consensus on something that hasn't been proven. this is a political movement. this whole global warming thing is a political movement.

In the name of christ, i refuse to be anti-gay. i refuse to be anti-feminist. i refuse to be anti-artificial birth control. i refuse to be anti-democrat. i refuse to be anti-secular humanism. i refuse to be anti-science. i refuse to be anti-life. in the name of christ, i quit christianity and being christian. amen.
Christian Gay Names
Ours is a post-christian world in which christianity, not only in the number of christians but in cultural emphasis and cultural result, is no longer the consensus or ethos of our society.
Christian Religious Ethos
It was assumed that you can't touch evangelical christians. "oh, they're the republican right. stay away from those people. don't even try to talk to them." well, what's interesting is that there were evangelical christians who were voting for kerry. there were right-to-lifers who were voting for kerry. and it's interesting to listen to the reasons why. to ignore that segment of the electorate is moronic. particularly if you don't know who those people are, or what their concerns are.

In the eyes of the associated press, american christianity, which springs from the protestant reformation, is fundamentalist. and christian fundamentalists, radical muslims, hindu extremists, and fanatical zionists are all the same - bloodthirsty lunatics.
